THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
With a well-developed
infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies,
and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to
industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural
commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Unemployment, at less
than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world,
which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts
nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai
government in 2013 implemented a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum
wage policy and deployed new tax reforms designed to lower rates on
middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external
economic shocks in recent years. The global economic recession severely cut
Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In late
2011 Thailand's recovery was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial
areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the
manufacturing sector. The government approved flood mitigation projects worth
$11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage,
and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the following seven
years. This was expected to lead to an economic upsurge but growth has remained
slow, in part due to ongoing political unrest and resulting uncertainties.
Spending on infrastructure will require re-approval once a new government is
seated

The Current Ratio is to ascertain whether a company's short-term assets
are readily available to pay off its short-term liabilities. The company's
figure is 1.13 times in 2012, increased from 1.12 times, then it is generally

current ratio by measuring the amount of the most liquid current assets there
are to cover current liabilities. The company's figure is 0.55 times in 2012,
increased from 0.52 times, then the company has not enough current assets that
presumably can be quickly converted to cash for pay financial obligations.
The Cash Conversion Cycle measures the number of days a company's cash
is tied up in the production and sales process of its operations and the
benefit from payment terms from its creditors. It meant the company could

394 days at the end of 2012. This represents a negative trend. And Inventory
turnover has decreased from 1.79 times in year 2011 to 0.93 times in year 2012.
The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 0.5 times and 1
times in 2012 and 2011 respectively. This ratio is determined by dividing total
assets into total sales turnover. The ratio measures the activity of the assets
and the ability of the firm to generate sales through the use of the assets.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA
-
From time immemorial, India is well known in the world
as the birthplace for diamonds. It is difficult to trace the origin of
diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in
India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th
Century B.C. India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th
Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of
S. Africa, Russia and Australia.
-
The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was
possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian
workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires,
supported by progressive Government policies.
-
The area of study of family owned diamond businesses
derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations
which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.
-
Some of the basic traits of family run business
enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction

Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on
many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term
performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.
-
Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with
some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious
import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In
the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees.
They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and
capital markets.

Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its
statistical data has shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by
28 % in February 2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in
February, 2012, India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in
February 2013. A senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished
diamonds started falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty
on the polished diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the
industry as the export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It
means the industry is on the track of recovery and round tripping of
diamonds has stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the
UK, Japan and China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21
bn in 2013-14.

The banking sector has started exercising restraint
while following prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and
jewellery sector. This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a
global voluntary regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing
and market liquidity.
